Modular angle trim

Abstract

An angle trim ( 20 ) is provided. The angle trim ( 20 ) includes a first elongated strip ( 22 ) having first ( 24 ) and second ( 26 ) opposed ends. A second elongated strip ( 28 ) projects at an angle from an elongated side ( 30 ) of the first strip ( 22 ) along the length of the elongated side ( 30 ). A tongue member ( 32 ) extends from the first end ( 24 ) of the first strip ( 22 ) at a raised height above the upper surface of the first strip ( 22 ). A channel ( 34 ) is arranged adjacent the second end ( 26 ) of the first strip ( 22 ) above the upper surface. The channel ( 34 ) is adapted to receive the tongue member ( 32 ) of another angle trim to connect the angle trims in an end to end relationship without requiring overlap of the first strips of the angle trims.

1. An angle trim for use in the installation of gutter guard on rain water roof guttering, the angle trim including:
 a first elongated strip having first and second opposed ends, said first strip being shaped and sized to be fastened to an upper surface of an outer corner of said guttering, with an outer edge of said gutter guard being secured between said first strip and said outer corner; 
 a second elongated strip projecting at an angle from an elongated side of said first strip along the length of said elongated side to form a substantially L-shaped profile whereby, upon installation, said second strip extends downwards from said first strip to hide the outer edge of said gutter guard; 
 a tongue member extending from the first end of said first strip at a raised height above the upper surface of said first strip; and 
 a channel arranged adjacent said second end of said first strip above said upper surface; 
 wherein said channel is adapted to receive the tongue member of another angle trim to connect said angle trims in an end to end relationship without requiring overlap of the first strips of said angle trims. 
 
     
     
       2. The angle trim according to  claim 1 , wherein said tongue member is an integrally formed portion of said first strip. 
     
     
       3. The angle trim according to  claim 1  or  2 , wherein said channel is integrally formed with said first strip. 
     
     
       4. The angle trim according to  claim 3 , wherein said channel is integrally formed by deforming a portion of said first strip. 
     
     
       5. The angle trim according to  claim 1 , further including one or more holes formed through said first strip to receive one or more fastening members.
